For years my wife and I don't bother to turn the clocks back when Daylight Savings Time (DST) ends. We're older and don't bother much with cellphones (which seem to shift automatically). Does anyone else do this?
Our pets don't know about clocks -- they're on "belly time." I have a sleep disorder. I don't use an alarm clock -- I wake up at 5:15am (now 4:15am) regardless. And I yawn uncontrollably at about 9pm (now 8pm) My work does flex time, and I tend to get in late, so being an hour early benefits everyone. We don't watch specials on TV that need to be watched at a certain time. The one annoying thing is that meetings that take place in the evening drag into bedtime or at least "yawn time." Despite all the "advantages" I still like how most of the world changes the clocks. __________________ Major Depressive Disorder; Sleep Apnea; possibly on the spectrum Nuvigil 50mg; Effexor 37.5mg Wellbutrin 150mg; meds for blood pressure & cholesterol |

My 2nd H used to tease my dad about how my dad ate lunch at noon - never missed it. If for some reason he ate breakfast late, didnt matter, still had lunch at noon. OTOH, my dad marveled at how the H could eat a whole watermelon by himself, especially after doing an hours-long bicycle ride. Neither of them were overweight.

I love your pets are on "belly time." So are mine. They don't seem to be upset eating "early" in the fall, but wonder why I am so mean in the spring.

I don’t change analog clocks. I have one in each room. Right now the one in a bedroom is an hour ahead but the other ones are all right, then they’ll be wrong in the spring. Lol But if I change them I’d be confused because I know to add or subtract one hour. I guess I like mental challenge
I do need to know what time it is for work purposes. My husband and I both have jobs that don’t allow any kind of flexibility. |
